Obituary for Jody-Kay Patterson

Jody-Kay (Coyle) Patterson, age 48, of Rogers, passed away peacefully at home on the morning of December 12 after a 2-year battle with cancer. Traveling to Crosslake, Carmel or anywhere with family made her smile. However, her unbelievable smile was never brighter than when she was helping others, especially children. This passion for kids made her an extraordinary mom, a favorite aunt and the adopted guardian for all her kids’ friends. This passion also devoted her to charities such as ChildFund International and Operation Christmas Child.

She was preceded in death by her grandparents, Frank & Kathleen Mann and Herb & Violet Coyle.

She is survived by her true love and loving husband, Steve; together they cherished time with family including their children, Michael (Cassie), Andrew, and Kaitlyn; step-children, Chris (Stephanie) and Nick (Jess); grandchildren, Caden and Roman; parents, Jim & Judy Coyle; siblings, Jim Coyle (Kelli), Julie (Todd) Martin, Joe (Stacy) Coyle, and John (Misty) Coyle; many nieces & nephews, other relatives and friends.
